Mubarak to visit Morocco on Saturday

Originally published June 9, 1999

The visit of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to Morocco is to start on Saturday.

Egyptian Minister of Information Safwat El-Sherif said the new date for the visit was agreed to during a phone call President Mubarak received from Morocco's King Hassan II to reassure Mubarak's health, after Mubarak caught a cold on Sunday.

Mubarak's sudden cold caused the postponement of the visit that was to be made yesterday, preceded by a meeting between Mubarak and Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in Algeria.
